Housing & Dwellings in Cloncurry

Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.

A typical monthly mortgage payment of just $1,200 makes housing costs in Cloncurry well below the national figure. While costs are low, the area has a very high proportion of renters compared to the rest of the state and country. This creates a housing market where renting is far more common than owning a home outright.
